Activated Carbon Micron Powder, Size: 2000 µm

Activated Carbon Micron Powder (2000 µm)

Product Overview

Activated Carbon Micron Powder (2000 µm) is a coarse-grade activated carbon material designed for applications requiring high mechanical strength, efficient flow rates, and effective adsorption. Its larger particle size (~2 mm) is ideal for use in water filtration, air purification, and industrial processes where pressure drop and durability are critical.

Key Features

1. Larger Particle Size (2000 µm):
   • Facilitates low-pressure drop and efficient flow in filtration systems.
2. High Adsorption Capacity:
   • Removes a wide range of contaminants, including organic compounds, heavy metals, and odors.
3. Mechanical Strength:
   • Durable under physical stress, ensuring long service life in industrial-scale systems.
4. Chemical Stability:
   • Resistant to chemical degradation across a broad pH and temperature range.
5. Eco-Friendly:
   • Derived from sustainable sources such as coconut shells, coal, or wood.

Applications

1. Water Filtration:
   • Used in municipal and industrial water treatment systems.
   • Effective in removing chlorine, organic impurities, and heavy metals.
2. Air Purification:
   • Applied in HVAC systems, industrial exhaust filters, and odor control units.
   • Captures volatile organic compounds (VOCs), odors, and harmful gases.
3. Industrial Processes:
   • Used in gas purification systems for removing hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and other pollutants.
   • Acts as a support material in catalytic processes.
4. Food and Beverage:
   • Applied in decolorization and purification of liquids like syrups and edible oils.
5. Odor Control:
   • Commonly used in sewage treatment, composting facilities, and landfills for odor absorption.
6. Gold Recovery:
   • Used in mining processes for extracting gold via the cyanide leaching method.
7. Chemical Processing:
   • Supports adsorption in various industrial chemical reactions.
